One day, I’m sitting in my beloved easy chair, just minding my own business, when a sudden rainstorm splats hard into my living room windows. This window faces southeast, the direction the storm came from, and you’ll have to forgive the reflections and whatnot, but I just liked how one moment the view from here was just another Chicago street (with notes) and the next moment, it was a trippy little scene inspired by that one magnificent shroom that made everything in my field of vision look like it was melting. (I’ve actually never done any psychedelic drugs, but I hear that can happen.)
